Families heading to Florida for their holidays could check out a new Crayola attraction that is set to open in the US state.

The Crayola Experience is opening in the Florida Mall and 25 family-friendly artistic activities are to be included at the site.

It will be a mixture of a retail store and a hands-on attraction that aims to bring the creativity out of young visitors.

Victoria Lozano, Crayola's vice president of corporate strategy and development, stated that the Crayola Experience is just one of many attractions the company is working on.

'It's all done in a very fun, entertaining way that, honestly, kids don't even realise they're learning,' she said.

'We believe creativity is an essential skill for kids. It can be taught, should be nurtured, but most importantly must be experienced.'

The Crayola Experience is already open in Downtown Easton, but the new attraction in the Florida Mall will give visitors another chance to develop their creativity and learn.

Florida is a hugely popular tourist destination for travellers from all over the world, with the state home to Disney World, the Epcot Centre and Universal Studios, among other top attractions. Florida also has the Everglades, which is the largest subtropical wilderness in the US.
